Hastings Borough Council
Hastings Borough Council has passed 3 plant-based food transition actions. The council engages with these issues but tends to defer rather than decide. 1 earlier commitment has not been reaffirmed in over 2 years. Insufficient public-facing documents to assess communications vs delivery alignment. No public forum or petition data found — pressure cannot be assessed. The trajectory is stable — the rate of supporting decisions has not changed significantly.
